Chapter 22: No last resort

The last day of April, in the afternoon. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Beijing, Zhongguancun.

Gu Cheng stood outside the headquarters of NetEase and looked up, took a few deep breaths of the air of his homeland, and had an inexplicable cordiality.

It's been almost a month since he came to this world, and he has finally returned to his homeland.

He went in in a big way. The mature aura conceals his real age, making people feel that he is at least in his early 20s.

"Sir, may I be able to help you?"

The reception lady at the front desk of Huang Yi's house is also much more formal than a small company like WEMADE.

Gu Cheng took out his business card: "We are a Dongyi data service company, I am the president, I have a business, and I want to ask to see Mr. Ding in person." ”

The front desk lady took Gu Cheng's trilingual business card, and when she saw him so handsome, she thought he was an international friend.

"Sir, do you have an appointment? if not......

Gu Cheng didn't want to be too troubled, so he took out his ticket and shook it: "Do you think I'm a liar? I really have something urgent, and I flew here from Seoul today--which liar do you think is playing this kind of joke with you?"

The front desk lady checked the ticket and struggled for a moment.

"Otherwise, I can ask someone from the PR department to talk to you. ”

"Okay, I'll convince him. Anyway, Mr. Ding should be in the company. ”

"With all due respect, sir. ”

The front desk lady called, and then let Gu Cheng go in and led him to a conference room upstairs.

Gu Cheng sat for a full 20 minutes before a woman in a suit in her thirties came in, very busy, and was surrounded by secretaries to sign all the way.

The woman sat there without introducing herself, and glanced at Gu Cheng first.

"Mr. Gu, right? No one pours tea, Xiao Huang, hurry up and pour tea." ”

"You're welcome ......"

The girl known as Xiao Huang came in and poured two cups of tea, and the woman in the suit also took out a business card and handed it to Gu Cheng with one hand.

"My surname is Cai, and I am the deputy manager of the public relations department. Seeing that you are not very old, you will call Sister Cai to save face. Let's talk about it, what do you want to cooperate with us Huang Yi. ”

It is very disdainful and impolite to hand over a business card with one hand.

Gu Cheng observed his words and knew that the woman opposite had already regarded him as a paparazzi and other roles that should be addressed.

The public relations department is not about business, it is about dealing with public relations crises.

The first half of 2000 was the point where the tide of the Internet rose and fell. Many so-called data service companies actually find that there are loopholes and shady scenes in the operation of large websites, and then threaten not to expose them.

"Sister Cai, I think you misunderstood my intention, you are really wrong about this. I hope you will be straightforward and make a condition for me to meet Mr. Ding. ”

"Mr. Ding is very busy, and it is impossible to meet someone like you who is from an unknown source. ”

Gu Cheng got up, walked to the door of the conference room, and pretended to close the door.

By the way, I looked up and looked around, but I didn't see the camera. Then he turned around and "accidentally" dropped an envelope on the ground next to Manager Cai.

"Sister Cai, did you drop your papers?" he leaned over to pick it up, stuffed it into the other party's hand, and held the other party's hand and pinched it.

A trace of panic flashed in Manager Cai's eyes, and the thickness in his hand should be at least 10,000 yuan.

"You...... What are you doing. ”

"It's nothing, I just ask for Mr. Ding's mobile phone number. Or, please call him first, saying that there is a guy here who can make Huang Yi valuate a few percent more before going public, and he has to insist on seeing him. As long as you get through, give me a chance to talk to Mr. Ding, nothing happened just now. ”

In 2000, the salary in the Internet industry was not high, and the money Gu Chengsai gave her was close to her salary for a quarter.

It's just a phone call to ask for instructions, and it doesn't drop a piece of meat......

After thinking about it, Manager Cai didn't resist the temptation of money and dialed a number.

"Mr. Ding, I'm Xiao Cai. Just now, a data service provider from Dongyi said that there is a very secret way to help companies increase their valuation before the IPO, so I have to tell you in person. ”

There was a bit of a commotion on the other end of the phone, and it seemed that several calls were ringing at the same time. The person who answered was also impatient: "What a mess, won't you review their business plan first!"

"Mr. Ding......" Before Manager Cai finished speaking, Gu Cheng snatched her mobile phone.

"Mr. Ding, fortunately, my name is Gu Cheng. To cut a long story short, I don't know if you noticed, but your company's data report last week should be better than before, and there are a lot more overseas users - if you don't see me, you wouldn't want the analysis and evidence of these overseas users to appear in the Wall Street Journal. We are in harmony with each other. ”

Ding Sanshi didn't answer immediately.

But just two seconds later, Gu Cheng heard the other noises next to him disappear.

Then, Ding Sanshi changed his tone of sharp and slightly disdainful: "You threaten me?"

"Don't dare, why bother. I just have a way to increase the number of daily active IPs of Huangyi Portal by another 20 percentage points, I believe you will be interested. ”

"In other words, the abnormal increase in data this week is all provided by you. ”

"Yes, don't you wonder what kind of person I am. ”

Ding Sanshi, who was on the other side of the phone, was silent for a few seconds, and said in a deep voice: "Give the phone back to Sister Cai." ”

Gu Cheng stuffed the phone back to Manager Cai.

Manager Cai answered the phone twice, then got up and took Gu Cheng upstairs and into Ding Sanshi's office.

She closed the door herself and withdrew.

Gu Cheng was also an elite in the business world in his previous life, so he was naturally not afraid in front of the bigwigs.

However, when he saw the person in front of him clearly, he was still shocked.

Not stage fright, but an accident.

This handsome guy in front of you, is it really Ding Sanshi?

In his previous life, when Gu Cheng crossed over, Ding Sanshi was already over seventy years old. So in his memory, Ding Sanshi was a dead fat man like a smiling tiger.

I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Ding Sanshi, who was just 29 years old, was so slender and handsome.

Fat people are potential stocks.

Time is a knife to kill pigs.

Perhaps, it was the ups and downs of his life later that made Boss Ding see through the world. From an ambitious, brave and enterprising person, he has evolved into a light-hearted, wide-hearted and fat guy.

Ding Sanshi didn't know Gu Cheng's true psychological activities, and when he was like ordinary people, he was impressed by his powerful aura.

He pointed to the sofa in front of him and motioned for Gu Cheng to sit: "What's wrong?"

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled easily: "No, it's just that I didn't expect Mr. Ding to be so young and handsome, it's too unexpected." ”

"Accident, what's the surprise, my pictures are all over the Internet. When Boss Ding said this, he had a natural arrogance.

What's more, in the next second, he saw Gu Cheng's appearance clearly.

Ding Sanshi's expression was almost written on his face, "Are you embarrassed to say that others are handsome"?

So he naturally added two words:

"Huh. ”

Gu Cheng knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he could only accompany him.

"What year is Mr. Gu? ”

"80 years old, Qiantang people. Gu Cheng casually lied.

Anyway, it's not a job application, and the other party can't check the household registration. Speaking of age, he can still make people feel that he is reliable.

"80? That's only 20 years old...... It's kind of half a fellow. ”

"No one says you can't do an Internet business at the age of 20. Mr. Ding, you are only 29, and among the 'Internet Three Musketeers', you are the youngest. Gu Cheng silently praised Ding Sanshi.

Ding Sanshi looked up and down and thought for a long time: "The future is terrifying." Let's talk about how you did it and what kind of cooperation method you are going to make. ”

Gu Cheng prepared many persuasive lines, but he didn't expect the other party to be so direct.

"Cheng, then I'll be happy and quote you directly. ”

Gu Cheng thought about it and quoted his price.

The "goods" he took from Wen Huiying for 1600, he directly gave Boss Ding 3000. Net profit of 1400 per unit of traffic.

If you put it aside in 2016, the same "goods" on Taobao will only be 60 yuan. And it's the "dry goods" of the ALEXA algorithm after years of upgrading and squeezing out the water.

"Why don't you rob it?" Ding Sanshi certainly didn't agree, "I don't know what means you used to get Huang Yi's data up, but your cost is definitely less than seventy percent." ”

Gu Cheng naturally did not back down: "Mr. Ding, this kind of business, it's boring if you calculate my cost." The cost of treatment depends on the curative effect, not the cost of medicinal materials. ”

Ding Sanshi was not convinced, and proudly provoked: "Is there still a business in the world where you do this?" Hehe, believe it or not, it won't take long for me to find out the principle of your IP, and even if the unit price is reduced by half, you can still do it." ”

Gu Cheng smiled calmly: "Of course I believe it, but don't you have no time - Huang Yi, on June 30, 2000, NASDAQ plans to go public."

You asked people to reverse analyze the data and figure out how I worked, and more than a week passed. Another week to dissect my specific methods, and then to find suppliers, and then bargain for prices, and get them to a much cheaper price than me...... You don't have that much time to toss, do you?

Gu Cheng's words can be said to hit the nail on the head.

Of course, Huang Yi can find out what is going on, and then find a low-cost supplier.

The problem is, it can't afford that time.

There are still two months to go, and it will be listed!

"It won't be at the price you say. ”

"Mr. Ding, I'm very sincere--you know, this kind of business is the same as 'brushing ALEXA click' half a year ago, it's a hammer deal with a few months of life. You are the first customer on the earth to drink in the subdivision of 'technical means to brush daily active IP', shouldn't it be a little more expensive?"

Boss Ding's brows jumped, and then he frowned imperceptibly.

He stood up and refilled the two of them with his own hands.

"You mean, can you guarantee that I'm your first customer?"

"Of course, I'm not going to look for a second client until the deal is closed – so I'm going to have to make a big deal for it, the biggest in Asia. Otherwise, why am I coming to you? ”

Yes, among those NASDAQ IPOs this year, Huang Yi is the largest in Asia!

Gu Cheng's words hit Boss Ding's heart like a hammer.
